    Need a new book. Input appreciated.
    I've been using Bodog but their lines come out late and they are square.

    I was thinking about changing to Bookmaker. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Is Bookmaker a good book. Is withdrawing money simple?

    I deposit via Vis a credit card, and I use Bodog and 5 Dimes.

      You probably should play Bodog until they don't let you anymore. Soft lines that are off from Pinnacle can be taken advantage of. Square books are good as long as they pay. If you are really wanting to bet early lines try 5dimes not Bookmaker. 5dimes offers reduced juice and you will not have to pay -110 for everything. Also BetJamaica is friendly to recreational players and has good withdrawing options.

      You always want to look into Withdrawal costs when looking into what book you want to use.

          Great points by Deluxe, I work overnights so I use 5dimes. Lines are up for the next day so they fit my schedule, also look into Matchbook the money you save on juice there over the long term means more money in your pocket.

              Pinnacle is by far the best imo. I've tried 5Dimes, BoDog, and Bookmaker and Pinny has the best CS and lines.

                  Depends what sports you play. Just about any of the well known books will suffice for your major sports. Lower tier sports, you need to get a book that specializes in those lines.

                    All I can say is avoid BetED.com at all costs my man, all these suggestions are good so far, it's best to have your money spread out among a handful of books, so you can always get the best lines, and the best values on em, cuz each book offers different odds, lines etc. So invest in all the ones mentioned above. And make sure you get the best bet for your money.

                              Sports Interaction if you bet a lot of dogs. Actually, the software is also very friendly.

                              By the way, I thought I was a gambler, but I still read your post as "Recommend me a new book to read"... funny. I was gonna recommend a couple.

                                  you need to have multiple books so you can play the best lines but keep bodog for dogs for sure.

                                        5dimes pays fast, has the MOST betting options (props, halves, quarters, tennis spreads, etc.), lines that come out pretty early (not as early as bookmaker but respectably so) not anywhere near as bad as bodog, accessible customer service, reduced juice or cash back plans, a live casino.....

                                          what about WSEX? It might take a year to get paid if you win, but so what.

                                              5dimes is the best. CS isn't great, but payouts are solid.

                                                    Greek and 5Dimes if you're going offshore; better yet, find a good local.

                                                      Willie, Why would you be recommending a local if your an admin? Isn't that just taking money out of your/SBR's pocket?

                                                          Pinny is the best, but I love Bookmaker. No real rebates, but their loyalty points are nice (especially if you bet a lot anyway) and I've never had a problem with them.

                                                            5 Dimes is the greatest book-they have the most games and gambling opps by far

                                                            They send a money transfer in 2-3 days

                                                            bookmaker takes ten days
